Frequently asked questions

Will my Yodel parcel be delivered today if it says 'At your local depot'?
If scanned at your local depot before 8:30 AM Monday–Saturday, it almost always goes `Out for delivery` that same morning; if it arrives after the morning dispatch wave, it delivers on the next working day.
Can I collect my parcel directly from the Yodel local depot?
Wait until Yodel either attempts delivery or offers the `Collect from Depot` / `Yodel Store` option in the tracking portal before visiting the depot.
When does Yodel show the stop-by-stop driver countdown?
As soon as the status moves from `At your local depot` to `Out for delivery`, Yodel displays your 2-hour window and stop number.
